Whirl Wet Dust Collection System
or Baghouse Dust Collector?

Tri-Mer is industry's dust collection expert, providing cost-effective alternatives for every
dust collection need: large and small particulate, 500 to 100,000+ cfm, soluble dusts, insoluble
dusts, explosive dusts from exotic metal grinding, intermittent operations, and continuous use.
Wet dust collectors are generally preferable, but dry dust collection is often a good option, too.
Costs are similar. A few points to consider:

• Whirl Wet dust collectors require very little maintenance. Unlike bag houses, Whirl Wet dust
  collection does not have involve "consumable" parts. Bag houses use filter bags that must be
  purchased, inventoried and discarded when the bag reaches capacity.

• Whirl Wet dust collectors offer three ways to handle collected material, which is often
  compressed into a filter cake that's easy to handle and dispose of. Whirl Wet can operate
  "24/7", with zero shutdown, even during maintenance. Baghouses require pulse cleaning.
  A Whirl Wet dust collector does not pulse, and is automatically self-cleaning.
  
  Whirl Wet dust collectors won't clog under normal operation. A bag house dust collector is
  prone to clogging when material is sticky, or when humidity rises, so applications with these
  conditions are best served with wet dust collectors.
  
  Whirl Wet dust collectors provide 99%+ uptime performance, and handle soluble and insoluble particulate. Several different processes can usually be ducted to one Whirl Wet dust collector.

• Both wet dust collectors and baghouses are used in food processing, in the powder /bulk
  solids industries, and throughout the chemical and pharmaceutical industries; also for
  collecting metal fines, dusts from stone, and brick and tile manufacturing. Wet dust collectors
  are best for applications such as lead oxide dust collection and wherever there are volatile
  materials (such as exotic metal dusts) or dust explosion hazards.

Baghouses from Tri-Mer are self-contained, and fully automatic where needed. Baghouses are
fabricated in mild steel, stainless steel, titanium, and other materials. We also supply ducting,
